The Plod who treated her like this were fcuktards of the highest order. Leaving aside the moral considerations, how many times do Plod have to pay out before the rank and file get it through their thick heads that behaving like Gene Hunt on steriods has consquences.

Having said that, I have very little sympathy for the WPC. If she cannot handle the stress of an unpleasant working enviroment, one has to question her ability to deal with situations where lethal force is necessary.

Just about covers our view and as local taxpayers for that force I'm beginning to wonder when the axe will fall. Not where though, the local services will suffer whilst the cowboys will be cushioned.
What I cant explain to the Mrs is how much of that compo will be lost earnings and how much she will pay in tax?

MY bold: Fully agree,

It is getting all to common & easy that if your not happy within the work place environment then the pound signs of compensation come a calling if you can not handle a certain amount of work to work collegue banter,

The CoC should not be letting situations such as these get out of hand, although I do understand tackling these issue's can be sensitive & time consuming & directs HR away from frontline duties,

Regardless of the rights or wrongs, with this apparent vulnerability to banter/stress, she was clearly not a fit person to be assigned to firearms duty ( - and how ironic that now that senior plod like Blair are proclaiming that GPs ought to be able to spot whether a civvie FAC holder is off their trolly, etc....).

One would have thought that even an average line manager would have been able to spot signs of susceptibility to bullying, or the basic difference between bullying and banter.
